About Northallerton

Northallerton, a hub of North Yorkshire, has long been shaped by its strategic position and the fertile land surrounding it. Its history, stretching back to Roman times, saw it grow into a significant market town, its economy rooted in agriculture and the bustling trade that passed through its centre. The very air of Northallerton seems to carry the scent of the rich soil, a constant reminder of its agricultural heritage. This enduring connection to the land has always underpinned the town's prosperity, influencing its development through centuries of change. Northallerton’s market place, broad and welcoming under the wide Yorkshire sky, still hosts lively weekly markets, a tradition that has persisted for generations. The imposing presence of the Grade I listed Town Hall, with its distinctive clock tower, stands as a silent witness to this ongoing commerce. While not a place of grand cathedrals, the parish church of All Saints echoes with the prayers of countless souls who have passed through Northallerton. The town also holds a quieter fame, having been the birthplace of the actor and comedian, Bob Monkhouse, whose sharp wit once graced stages far beyond these familiar streets.
